"LUNA AND THE MAGICAL NIGHT LIGHTS" CHILDREN'S BOOK ON KICKSTARTER

UVD Toys and The Bots are back! Last time they launched a Kickstarter together, they brought Luna to life creating a vinyl art toy. Now they are asking fans for help once again to tell her story. Over the past year The Bots have written, polished, and reworked the tale that now gives their once static character depth and purpose. With illustration help of the artist couple 64 Colors, they have painted the imagery of Luna’s world into a magical landscape. They call it the “Lunaverse” and with your help they can turn this dream into a reality!

Their goal is to produce the first ever story set in the Lunaverse with an 8" x 8" hard cover , 22 page, full color children's book printed on high quality paper. They have created a wide variety of Kickstarter Backer Levels rewarding supporters with copies of the book, prints, enamel pins, a Glow in the Dark edition of their Luna vinyl figure, custom painted resin figures, original artwork from The Bots and 64 Colors and so much more!

KMNDZ's One of One June 14 Is Taking shape

KMNDZ's first curatorial project, One of One: World's Greatest Custom Toy Show is taking shape for its June 14th opening at DA Center for the Arts. Some WIP's and completed pieces are popping up over social media and press release info facilitated by the fantastic Paris Woodward.

DrilOne

ONE OF ONE: World’s Greatest Custom Toy Show50 Artists. 1 Amazing Gallery. 1 Incredible Show.

ONE OF ONE is artist KMNDZ’s first curated show, featuring a variety of artists all sharing their interpretation of what a toy is. The vinyl platform has been gaining rapid popularity and is what inspired KMNDZ's toy theme, however participating artists will be showcasing their talents in whatever medium and scale they want.

Jill Ricci

"I don’t see a difference between painting a DIY vinyl versus painting on a canvas. In my mind the medium carries just as much weight as a traditional painting. My expression is the same regardless, as is the amount of love and care I pour into a piece. It wasn’t until last summer that I started to explore painting vinyl toys. Needless to say it’s addictive and it’s been teaching me more about light and shadow. It’s even influencing the way I think about painting on canvas. 

For ONE OF ONE I’ve brought together 50 killer people from different walks of art. Graffiti artists, vinyl artists, fine artists, and graphic artists. I wanted my first curating experience to be memorable; a show that would lend itself to being loud and fun, even including the food (if you haven’t had The Reuben Truck’s pastrami yet, you’re in for a treat).  There will be a three-piece jazz band from Guam playing some reggae music. And if all goes to plan, every wall in the dA will get some big mural love from some of the participating artists. Ultimately the thanks goes to Bunny Gunner for believing in me and approaching me with the concept. It makes sense and I didn’t see it until it was placed in front of me. The dA Center for the Arts makes for a killer venue being in a neighborhood that supports the arts, and the high ceilings will give us breathing room to flex the talent in the show.

I look forward to this exhibition, and as with all my projects, I’ll be sure to leave nothing for the swim home."

Cool Munnyworld Customs by 64 Colors

Creating cool customs is something that seems to come naturally for the 64 Colors duo. 64 Colors recently put up some very sweet customs in their shop: a 7" Trikky, a 7" Foomi and a 4" Trikky. Each exquisitely painted custom comes with an equally exquisite hand painted accessory. I love the way 64 Colors creates the eyes on each piece, as well as the depth of the wood-like texture. Awesome pieces of art for any collection.

"My thoughts are not my own", 7" Trikky by 64 Colors

"Double Vision", 7" Foomi by 64 Colors

"Gentleman Woodland Trikky" by 64 Colors

The 7" pieces are priced at $375 each, while the 4" Trikky is going for $230, plus shipping on each piece. Also available in their shop is a cool 5.5 x 7.25" painting titled "Thoughts", which is priced at $325 plus shipping.

The creating duo who make up 64 Colors is joining in on the latest holiday themed custom push by releasing ten different custom Gingermarshall Custom vinyl toys tonight, December 14th, at 10PM EST. Priced at $130 each plus shipping, each cute custom comes perfectly painted with each custom having a unique face and emotion. All the custom Gingermarshalls come with a gingerbread boy accessory, which is also painted with different emotions.

So, if you want to acquire one of these awesome customs, make sure to have your favorite Gingermarshall loaded in the browser and start the F5 madness before 10PM EST. 64 Colors has made it a bit easier on collectors by making a product page for each one of the ten Ginergermarshalls.
